I received news the other day that a friend from high school had passed away, by his own hand, though there was nothing directly pointing to that being the cause – perhaps some of my former classmates and group of friends were in on the conversation offline or elsewhere, but it seemed clear enough thatContinue reading “#5 – Love the Unknown”

For the last few weeks I’ve been participating in a training that was born from the book Active Hope by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone and one of the most recent processes that I engaged in inspired today’s entry. While it wasn’t about sleep, I was directed to sleep as a result of the processContinue reading “#5 – Love Your Self”

I took a trip to the other side of the state this past weekend to enjoy my younger kid’s first concert featuring some pretty lovely up and coming youths. While I’ve always enjoyed visiting Philadelphia and all it has to offer, once I returned to Pittsburgh I felt the strangeness of being here speak toContinue reading “#5 – Love Your Community”

It seems particularly fitting that this book is being written during a war (ok, more than one war), a pandemic, the great turning and what’s probably the most important love study unfolding ever told.

So….what’s in your day today? Depending on when you’re reading this it could be more than you can imagine, already almost complete, or somewhere in between. Wherever it is that you’re at in this day, for a few moments, pause to inventory even just a portion of what’s already been, what’s very fresh in theContinue reading “#4 – Love Everything”

I’ve got elements on my mind today – specifically water. Which I suppose if I want to be accurate with my description then it’s the product of the elements (two hydrogen and one oxygen) that has me feeling both curious and open to growing my love for with you right now. Definitely will get toContinue reading “#4 Love the Unknown”
